	Guardian Unlimited Arts Friday Review The lost queen
		On February 8 1969, my film director husband Sandy Mackendrick left for Scotland to finalise locations for a film about Mary Queen of Scots.
		Mary had left Scotland in exile to France at the age of three, returning at 18 - French-speaking, already widowed - to be Queen of Scotland.
		It's no surprise that the Mary Queen of Scots story has long fascinated writers.

	MTV.com - Movies - Mary, Queen of Scots
		Vanessa Redgrave stars as Mary Stuart of Scotland, with Glenda Jackson costarred as Queen Elizabeth I. As with the earlier Maxwell Anderson play Mary of Scotland the film's sympathies are with Mary, and there are two contrived, wholly fabricated face-to-face confrontations between the two queens (who never met in real life).
		Mary Queen of Scots was merely tolerated by critics of 1971, with Pauline Kael snippily commenting that she preferred the 1925 Our Gang two-reeler Mary Queen of Tots !
		The film is literally swamped with lavish Tudor decor, perhaps the only completely accurate aspect of the whole project.

	Amazon.com: Books: Stagecoach (Bfi Film Classics)
		To give the film class, Ford employed Dudley Nichols, writer of his previous prestige successes The Informer and Mary of Scotland as well as such comedy classics as Bringing Up Baby.
		Shedding new light on an old favorite, this is an enjoyable account of how the film got made, combined with a careful scene-by-scene analysis, a wealth of illustrations, and the most complete credits yet assembled.
		Resisting David O. Selznick's description of his project as "just another Western," director John Ford intended something special from the start: a film that would integrate all the traditions of the horse opera-chases, gunfights, spectacular scenery-with a tale of romance and intrigue appealing to a sophisticated audience of both sexes.

	Sleeve Notes - McCabe: Edward II
		Edward II was no soldier, however, and his attempt to pursue his father's aggressive policy in Scotland ended in a crushing defeat at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
		As with Mary, Queen of Scots, Edward II is cast in two large acts, each of which is comprised of five scenes.
		Edward II ruled medieval England between 1307 and 1327, the tenth king to have done so since the Norman Conquest of 1066, and the second to be named Edward (thereby excluding the three Anglo-Saxon kings named Edward).

	Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
		The film succinctly sets the stage with this message: "At the dawn of the 1700s, famine, disease and the greed of great noblemen were changing Scotland forever.
		Rob and his wife Mary of Comar (Jessica Lange, born in Minnesota), are passionately in love and just as passionately into frequent, spontaneous sex.
		Rob Roy's hardiness and resistance to physical injuries is as mythical as that of heroes in Westerns.

	Mary, Queen of Scots
		Mary, Queen of Scots is a fine costumed drama, filmed on location in Scotland, England and France, and filled with pomp and pageantry throughout.
		Mary, Queen of Scots is excellent historical film-making which stands up well to the test of time.
		Mary is at first bewildered by court politics, ruled primarily by her heart and her desire for the comforts and fineries of France -- but she grows steadily into her crown as events force her to act and react or lose her throne for good.

	Empire: Film Reviews, Movie News and Interviews
		Now Mary was no ordinary girl, she was the only daughter of James V of Scotland and the grand niece of England's favourite philandering monarch, Henry VIII.
		Such is the sad story of Mary Queen of Scots, a figure soon to be filled out by Bryce Dallas Howard in an upcoming historical drama.
		The problem was that Elizabeth was an Anglican (after her father, Henry 'so many women, so little time' Tudor) and Mary was a Catholic, and lots of people wanted a Catholic restored to the throne.

	Mary, Queen of Scots (1971)
		Goofs: Factual errors: In the film, Queen Elizabeth I of England travels to Fotheringhay Castle to meet Queen Mary of Scotland.
		The myth of the tragic Mary Stuart is further tangled by imagined meetings between herself and her unwilling nemesis, Elizabeth I. Somewhat episodic, it reminded me of another Vanessa Redgrave vehicle, also involving Patrick McGoohan: "Three Sovereigns for Sarah".
		As that film also did, this movie attempts to tell a thirty year long story, this time starting with Mary's beginnings as a widowed teenager and not ending until her execution twenty-seven years later.

	Issues: Perspectives (April 1999): Elizabeth: Romantic Film Heroine or Sixteenth-Century Queen?
		The film thus ends with Elizabeth reclaiming her virginity and turning herself into stone, painted white, a living statue of the Virgin to replace the Virgin Mary.
		Elizabeth tells her confidant Kat Ashley, "Kat, I have become a virgin." She emerges to the court, painted white like a statue; instead of slouching as she had throughout the film, she is very stiff.
		Elizabeth, looking up at a statue of the Virgin Mary, asks Walsingham why the English people love the Mother of God and not their queen—"Must I be made of stone?" Walsingham responds that all men must have something to look up to, to touch the divine here on earth.

	BBC NEWS UK BBC film inflames faithful
		Belief in the virgin birth is part of mainstream Christian doctrine, but veneration of Mary is much less common with Protestants than in the Catholic and Orthodox churches.
		In 1994 a leader of the Church of Scotland said in a sermon that the virgin birth was symbolic, and that the Bible need not be taken literally.
		Mary's reputation in Christian terms is pretty well non-negotiable, because the creeds, the ancient formulas summing up the doctrine all believers are supposed to subscribe to, describe her as a virgin: the woman who gave birth to the saviour because God, not man, had made her pregnant.
